About the PCC Balloon Festival Field Trip ...
Hi Everyone,
As we’ve been announcing for several months, the PCC September field trip is THIS weekend to the Balloon Festival at White Sands National Monument near Alamogordo New Mexico.
Where
White Sands National Monument is about 12 miles East of Alamogordo, NM. Mapquest says it’s 471 miles or about 7 hours from my house in North Phoenix so prepare for a long drive if you’re going. Closest lodging is in Alamogordo.
When
Launch time is at 7:00 am on Saturday and Sunday, weather permitting. Launch will be at White Sands National Monument as well from various sites in Alamogordo so you have a second chance if you oversleep. Sunrise is at 6:45am in Alamogordo and sunset will be at 7:14pm. I’m not sure what time the gates to the park opens but guess it’s going to be early (like 5 or 5:30 to let the balloonists in).
A balloon glow will be attempted the evening of Saturday, September 17th, again, weather permitting. I believe this is in town.
